The love story
For Mitch and Renee, their love story began just over 17 years ago at Buln Buln Junior Tennis. At that time they were both 15 which seems like a lifetime ago. Mitch and Renee embarked on their beautiful journey together. A year into their relationship, Mitch mustered the courage to invite Renee to the movies. They chose Warragul Cinemas and watched Nacho Libre, a film that Mitch now jokingly labels as ‘terrible.’ Their time together was regulated to every two weeks, typically on a Sunday, often accompanied by Renee’s younger brother Harley.
Things took a turn around the age of 17 when Renee decided to end things with Mitch via a text message, sending them both back into the uncertain waters of the dating world. Despite trying to move on, Renee found herself unable to replicate the feelings she had for Mitch. Over time, she realized she couldn’t help but compare everyone she met to him.
At around the age of 23, fate intervened and brought Mitch and Renee back into each other’s lives. The spark between them was as vibrant as ever, reigniting their deep connection instantly. Since then, they have remained together, bound by a love that has endured through time.
Something beautiful
“Mitch and Renee, have welcomed each other’s families, communities and lifelong friends and built a new village together that has led them here today. They have made some great memories and achievements together as a couple; however nothing beats their greatest achievement of welcoming their three beautiful children, Nash, Andy and Nellie into this world.” Alana – The Homegrown Celebrant.
